Applications Potential
AK Steel Grain Oriented Electrical Steels (GOES) are used
most effectively in transformer cores having wound or sheared
and stamped laminations with the magnetic flux path entirely,
or predominately, in the rolling direction. They also are used in
large generators and other apparatus when the design permits the
directional magnetic characteristics to be used efficiently.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Grain Oriented Electrical Steels are iron-silicon alloys that were developed
to provide the low core loss and high permeability required for efficient and
economical electrical transformers. First produced commercially by AK Steel,
these magnetic materials exhibit their superior magnetic properties in the
rolling direction. This directionality occurs because the steels are specially
processed to create a very high proportion of grains within the steel which
have similarly oriented atomic crystalline structures relative to the rolling
direction.
In iron-silicon alloys, this atomic structure is cubic and the crystals are most
easily magnetized in a direction parallel to the cube edges. By a combination
of precise steel composition, rigidly controlled cold rolling and annealing
procedures, the crystals of these oriented electrical steels are aligned with
their cube edges nearly parallel to the direction in which the steel is rolled.
Consequently, they provide superior permeability and lower core loss when
magnetized in this direction.
Since the inception of grain oriented electrical steels in 1933, AK Steel
Research has continued to develop new and improved grades to provide the
electrical industry with core materials for the manufacture of more efficient
electrical apparatus.
AK Steel Oriented Mill-Anneal finish and LITE CARLITE Electrical Steels are
suitable for those types of transformers where a stress relief annealing
treatment of the magnetic core is used and the magnetic flux path is entirely,
or predominately, in the rolling direction. The technology used for Oriented
LITE CARLITE provides superior transformer performance when compared to
oriented electrical steels with Mill-Anneal finish. This is accomplished by:
• Excellent response to stress-relief annealing
• High tension CARLITE® 3 coating

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
MILL-ANNEAL SURFACE INSULATION
The Mill-Anneal insulation coating is formed at very high temperatures
during the final annealing operation. It is a tightly adherent magnesiumsilicate type of coating equivalent to ASTM A976 C-2. Mill-Anneal coating
provides insulative properties suitable for transformers operated at flux
densities where the induced voltage is at or below 10 volts per turn such
as distribution transformers and other devices.
The Mill-Anneal surface provides good resistance to abrasion during
winding into core form and will withstand stress-relieving anneal without
loss of insulative value. No danger of transformer oil contamination exists
with this coating. Prolonged exposure to oils or air at transformer operating
temperatures does not endanger insulating qualities.
CARLITE 3 SURFACE INSULATION
AK Steel’s LITE CARLITE Grain Oriented Electrical Steels (GOES) products are
supplied with CARLITE 3 insulative coating, an inorganic coating equivalent
to ASTM A976 C-5. LITE CARLITE is ideal for materials that will be used in
distribution transformers and other magnetic apparatus with low to moderate
volts per turn where the cores are stress-relief annealed. In addition to
supplying the basic benefits of C-5 Insulation, LITE CARLITE provides other
important advantages which include:
• Potential for reduced transformer building factor from added resistance
to elastic strain damage
• Potential for reduction of magnetostriction related transformer noise
• High stacking factor
• Easy assembly due to smoothness of coating (low coefficient of friction)

The core loss and exciting power of the AK Steel Oriented Electrical Steel grades are determined by magnetic tests performed in accordance with general procedures approved by the
American Society for Testing and Materials. The following conditions apply:
1. Epstein test specimens sheared parallel to the rolling direction of the steel from fully processed coils and stress-relief annealed per ASTM A876.
2. Tested per ASTM A343.
3. Density of all grades is 7.65 g/cm³ per ASTM A34.
ASTM A664 is a grade identification system for electrical steels. While this system has not been widely adopted by the manufacturers and consumers of electrical steels, it is used in
ASTM A876 to designate various grades of grain oriented electrical steel.

The graph on the left shows the variation of surface insulation resistance
versus pressure and provides a guide to users interested in knowing the
relative insulative capabilities of the available surface finishes. Resistance
values are typical of tests made on such surfaces by the Franklin Test
(ASTM A717). However, the user should recognize that the normally small
variations in mill oxide and coating thickness within a lot necessitate allowing
for some test values lower as well as higher than those shown in the curves.
LAMINATION FACTOR

0.031
Lamination factor is the measure of compactness of an electrical steel core.
This is also referred to as “stacking factor” and “space factor.” Lamination
factor is the ratio of the equivalent “solid” volume, calculated from weight and
density of the steel, to the actual volume of the compressed pack, determined
from its dimensions. Special processing gives AK’s Oriented Electrical Steels
exceptionally and consistently high lamination factors.

The lamination factor of electrical steels is determined from measurements
of a stack of Epstein strips under known pressure in accordance with
ASTM A719. The graph below illustrates how the ASTM lamination factor
varies as a function of pressure for LITE CARLITE and Mill-Annealed Oriented
Electrical Steels. The values shown are representative of the lamination factor

TEST METHOD
The above data is meant for comparative purposes only and was developed using stressrelief annealed Epstein specimens from representative samples which were prepared in
accordance with ASTM A876 and tested in accordance with ASTM A343. While there are no
agreed upon standard testing methods for magnetostriction, these data were acquired using
an accelerometer-based measurement of crossover-to-tip displacement of many individual
Epstein strips which were tested at a frequency of 60Hz at the inductions shown above.
The magnetostriction values are, to our best knowledge, believed to be representative of
commercially produced materials.

LITE CARLITE® AND MILL-ANNEAL GOES
STRESS-RELIEF ANNEALING
In wound or formed cores, there is a substantial amount of both plastic and elastic strain which
substantially degrades the magnetic properties of the electrical steel. When the strain is low, the strain
will be elastic and removal of the load or restraining force will permit the steel to return to essentially a
stress-free condition. However, if the steel is plastically deformed, it will retain stresses even after the
load is removed. In these circumstances, stress-relief annealing is needed to return the material to a
stress-free condition.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Although a thermal flattening treatment is part of the process for application of CARLITE 3 insulation
coating to LITE CARLITE Oriented electrical steel, both AK Steel Oriented LITE CARLITE and Oriented
Mill-Anneal products require stress-relief annealing to fully develop the magnetic properties.
The annealing should be conducted for a suitable time and temperature in a protective atmosphere
to prevent adverse changes to the steel chemistry. The parameters of time, temperature and atmosphere
are not interchangeable with those procedures used for annealing of semiprocessed non-oriented or
carbon lamination steel products. Conditions that create excessive thermal gradients should be avoided
since these can reintroduce stresses and/or distort the shape of the steel.
TEMPERATURE CYCLE
While a soaking temperature of 1450 - 1500 °F (790 - 820 °C) for a time of at least 15 minutes is
recommended, stress-relief annealing should be conducted for the shortest time possible without
producing excessive thermal gradients. It is recommended that higher stress-relief annealing
temperatures be employed only after experimentation with the cores being annealed shows it is
clearly beneficial as higher annealing temperatures can result in increased “sticking” and/or “flaking”
of the CARLITE coating.
6
LITE CARLITE® AND MILL-ANNEAL GOES
STRESS-RELIEF ANNEALING
Proper specification of annealing time must take into account the size and weight of the finished cores
being annealed, the degree of exposure to heating and cooling during annealing and the amount of
plastic deformation imparted by core fabrication. The furnace heat input should be adjusted so that the
heating rate is not too great when approaching the soaking temperature. Forcing cores to heat rapidly
to soak temperature should be avoided owing to incomplete annealing and/or thermal distortion is likely.
If the cores are not well exposed, the length of the soaking period should be extended.
Proper specification of the cooling time requires similar consideration. It is recommended that the rate
of cooling after annealing does not exceed 185 °F (85 °C) per hour from soaking temperature to 1400 °F
(750 °C) and not exceed 330 °F (165 °C) per hour to a temperature of 1200 °F (650 °C). Steel cores or
laminations usually can be removed from the protective atmosphere at 600 - 700 ° F (325 - 375 °C)
without ill effect.
ANNEALING ATMOSPHERE
The Mill-Anneal finish (sometimes referred to as Glass Film) is developed at very high temperatures in
a hydrogen atmosphere. Consequently, it is completely compatible with hydrogen-nitrogen mixtures
ranging from 0 to 100% nitrogen without adversely affecting the interlaminar resistance quality of the
insulation coating. However, for economy and safety, the hydrogen content usually is maintained below
10%. Vacuum annealing gives very satisfactory results with a Mill-Anneal surface, but may be too costly.
AK Steel Oriented LITE CARLITE is supplied with a CARLITE 3 type of insulation coating. The qualities
of the CARLITE coating are best maintained or enhanced when stress-relief annealing is conducted
in an atmosphere that is neutral or slightly oxidizing to iron. An oxygen-free nitrogen atmosphere or a
nitrogen-hydrogen mixture containing 5% hydrogen or less is recommended for batch annealing where
exposure times in excess of one hour are typical. Vacuum annealing of CARLITE insulated materials is not
recommended.
Continuous stress-relief annealing of slit widths or single laminations may be carried out in air if the
exposure time is only a matter of minutes.
ANNEALING ATMOSPHERE CONDITIONS TO AVOID
AK Steel Oriented Electrical Steels are produced under exacting controls of composition and
processing to provide a steel that is extremely low in impurities such as carbon, nitrogen and oxygen.
The Mill-Anneal insulation coating provides very limited protection to contaminants in the annealing
atmosphere, significant degradation of the magnetic properties will occur if these impurities are
reintroduced into the steel. The CARLITE insulation coating of the Oriented LITE CARLITE electrical steels
does provide some protection, degradation of the magnetic properties will also occur if these above
mentioned impurities are reintroduced into the steel. Annealing atmospheres which contain high chemical
potentials of carbon, oxygen or their compounds may contaminate the steel under certain circumstances
and should be avoided.

FLATNESS TOLERANCES
While a thermal flattening treatment is part of the process for application of CARLITE 3 insulation coating,
the conventional flattening methods for electrical steel products were not used in the production of
AK Steel Oriented LITE CARLITE due to their effects on magnetic quality after stress-relief annealing.
Because of this circumstance, AK Steel Oriented LITE CARLITE typically has a small amount of coil set
remaining in the delivered product. Thereby, it is not feasible to employ flatness tolerance tables for flat
rolled steel. Some applications, and certain types of fabricating techniques for construction of magnetic
cores, are tolerant of certain flatness deviations. However, it is generally recognized that sharp, short
waves and buckles are objectionable and should be avoided as much as possible. The producer should
determine the flatness requirements for its particular application and the suitability of this electrical steel.
